Loads of negative threads on here nowadays, so here's an attempt at a positive one.
In our entire history, who is your choice for most underrated/under-appreciated player at the Lane?
For me (showing my age here) I would say Jermain Defoe:
a. Pretty handy goalscorer, and decent in his second spell too.
b. Love for the club - apparently in his time here had a list of Spurs top goal scorers on his bathroom mirror, which he updated in light of his own contributions. For me that shows it's not just about the money or glory, but an emotional connection to a particular club.
c. Off the pitch activity - pretty heroic.
I'd also mention Sigurdsson - pretty handy midfielder who we dispensed with a touch too quickly, IMHO.
Also, Aaron Lennon was more or less unplayable in wide areas on his day - just never quite developed elite finishing skills.
